Attractions
The Sites in The West, Sukhothai
Wat Saphan-Hin
This is situated on
a hill 200 meters high. A pathway of slate slabs leads to the sanctuary
yard.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wat Aranyik
Located near Wat
Saphan-Hin. In the Aranyik area, dwelling places for monks (kuti), caves,
and the bases of ubosots and viharns line the pathway to the sanctuary.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Phra Ruang Dam
This earthwork dam
was formed to hold back water between Phra Bat Yai and Kiew-Ay-Ma Hills and
restored by Thailand's Irrigation Department. Water from the dam will be
used as a reserve whenever the water level in other reservoirs goes down.
This dam is referred to in the Sukhothai inscription.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wat Mangkon
A large viharn and
a round Singhalese-style chedi are visible. Sangkhalok architectural
decorations were found here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wat Phra Yun
This lies some
2,500 meters west of Wat Mahathat. The viham enshrines a standing Buddha
image.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ho Thewalai Kasetra Phiman
The palace of the
god in the field nearby Wat Pa-Ma-Muang is a square laterite triple-tiered
pedestal. Its form resembles that of a mondop and was probably used to
install Hindu images.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wat Pa-Ma Muang
The sanctuary of
the Mango Grove is an important one referred to in Sukhothai inscriptions.
The base of the Singhalese-style chedi and the ubosot still exist.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wat Tuk
This lies about 110
meters from Ho-Thewalai. A square window less mondop is the main sanctuary:
a viham and chedis are in front.
